Not if that binary has its location specified in the FHS, which most of the ones we're discussing do. The FHS says that sed goes in /bin, so that's not an issue -- Branden can use sed instead of cut. As for "command -v", I don't see any advantages it has over "type". Both produce output that requires parsing if aliases or shell functions are involved. And "type" is a POSIX shell feature. -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
